trystinn | Ah, the joy of parents - reading between the lines

I was just drunk dialed by my folks on another one of their seemingly endless holidays. It's their wedding anniversary, so they are off on a grand adventure somewhere. I'm not quite sure where they are at present, could be the resort in Connecticut, the big house in the Berkshires or their new vacation home in Dorset, VT. Honestly couldn't tell you. I know Phoebe, their spoiled Golden Retriever, is with them and since Da described her as laying between the two of them, I'm going to assume they aren't in the Berkshires. Phoebe has her own bedroom in the Berkshires, which is why I'm guessing the resort. Apparently, they are shopping for home entertainment technology for Dorset. Something I'm not quite up to speed on, given I haven't bought a tv since the last century. Frankly, I think it was sometime around 1995 or thereabouts. I bought a clearance set at a NY pharmacy for my dorm. I am so not the go to gal for this sort of thing!

Da is thinking he'd like to use up some frequent flyer miles and pop over (across the entire continent) to Whidbey for a visit. Mum cannot make it, but Da's always a hoot. He'll likely not do so, but the opportunity is always there. We'd likely drag him up about the San Juans, as we haven't done so as yet. A weekend isn't really enough time to hit Victoria Island, though I know he's always wanted to go there. I wonder if Darth Vader still busks with his violin outside the Parliament building?

Other little updates:

Had a marvelous and all too short time to hang out with Phil for a few hours. We met up at the Wind & Tide to chat.

Hoping I can talk folks to going to the Snohomish County Fair with me to see the chickens. There's still a few birds I'd like for my flock and the hatcheries are mostly out of stock on everything. *sigh* Might be time to hit up the 4-H folks to see if anyone is selling!

In other news, Luca now has 6 ducklings. Picy goodness to come, I swear!
